Common questions about Minnesota boat launches
- How many public boat launches are there in Minnesota?
- Boating Hubs maps 2,307 boat launches in Minnesota across 1,241 named waters. 2,204 are public access and 103 are semi-private, meaning access may be limited to residents, members or permit holders.
- Which waters in Minnesota have the most boat launches?
- By mapped launch count: Mississippi River (81), Long Lake (40), Mille Lacs Lake (37), Minnesota River (33) and Round Lake (21). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
- Is there a fee to use boat launches in Minnesota?
- Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for Minnesota yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.
